Answers:
There's no more bacteria in dog food than human food and you're not going to die! If it's bleeding, squeeze your thumb to help it to continue to bleed as much as you can!. This will help to get contamination out!. Then, just keep it clean and bandage it up!.
Don't put neosporin on it! That is unnecessary for a bleeding wound that is unlikely to get infected!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Dog food should be bacteria free!. However your knife may not!. If bleeding does not stop or worse if you develop a low grade fever with chills go to the ER, have them sew you up and get a shot!. You can still go on saving for a new pair of Nikes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
nothing is going to happen!.!.!. it wasnt rusty!.!.!.!. just a slip, some cleaning stuff for cuts would do the job!.!.!. then a good band-aid!.!.!.!. but u were right for worring some cuts can get infected and, but you dont have to wrry about it just get some cut cleaner!.!.!.

no, you wont die!. im sure you washed the cut after!. to be on the safe side though , if you havent had tetanus shot within the last 10 years it would be good to get one now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'd say you'll be fine unless there was rust on the lid!.
If it swells & pain gets worse, then infection may have hit!.
Clean it often (Hydrogen Peroxide) & use triple antibiotic ointment with bandaid!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
